Guess who is extremely happy about surviving her first week of college? This person! Unfortunately for me, the mountain of homework placed before me is quite frightening, so I figured I would start on an assignment that I would acctually enjoy.
So, why did I decide to go to college? Well, there was never really any other option; college was a part of my future from the time I was small. My Dad would always say things to me about, "When you go to college..." It was alway when, never an if.
Well, there's one question answered, now on to the next! Why did I decide to come to Converse? I thought this would be an easy one for me to answer, but when I started thinking about it on my morning commute, I realized that I really did'nt know why I chose Converse. I mean, yeah, it's one of the best colleges in the state, and sure, they have a rocking music school, but other than that I really didn't know. And then I remember that Converse was the only place my dad would let me apply to. " You can go to school anywhere you want as long as it is a four year school and as long as you can drive home every day," Dad would say to me. So I guess that's what sealed my fate. That and the scholarships; those are definatly a major reason why I came.
Yay! Only two more to go! Ok, what could possibly be possessing me to make me study music? The Devil, maybe? I don't know, I guess I'm studying music because it's something I've always been good at, and I've always had a special relationship with it; I love it when I can't have it, and hate it when it's shoved in my face. Maybe it's not such a good idea to major in music if I have having it shoved down my throat. But I'm getting off track.
Finally: If I woke up tomorrow and couldn't do any kind of music anymore, what would I do instead? At first I thought about being a singer, but then I remembered that that was musically involved, so that went out the window. Then I thought that I could be a writer, because that's something I've always loved to do, and then, it hit me! I would definatly have to be an actress. I would love to be in a movie! A big paycheck from a major Hollywood production would pay off my school loans, and I would be debt free! But ultimately, I would want to be the lead role in the movie adaptation of the book The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong. I would fight every major starlet in the industry for that role.
Yay! I finished! Now I leave my wonderful audience to go do more mundane things such as practice piano and read theory. Until next time, I bid everyone Ja Ne!
Your's always,
The Amazing Katie Mae
Ps: Ja Ne is japanese slang for 'see ya!'

Katie Mae,
ReplyDeleteAn enjoyable read. Be sure to use spell check and proof read your submission before hitting the publish button.
An actress? If you have time you should try out for a role in one of the theater productions.
Good blog, Katie. And listen to what Jason just said about proofreading. (And just don't try out for theater THIS semester--give yourself some settling time first.)
ReplyDeleteAs to hating music when it's shoved in your face, just remember that, ultimately, YOU"RE then one in control, choosing what sort of relationship you'll have with your music. Anything anyone else says is, at most, a strong suggestion. You're the one in charge.
